We've had some major updates in the platform! If you're exploring to use PlayBooks, today is the best time to get started. :D
If you're new to PlayBooks, they help you (SRE / Platform teams) to upgrade your developer's experience.
Transform your logs into funnels that tell the story of your entire application!

We made a few crosswords for the developer community in the weekend!
P.S.: If you're unable to solve, the secret is that all answers are in the webpage (frontend).
Reverse Engineer it :)

At Dr. Droid, we've introduced Stateful Monitoring, a data interpretation and visualization layer. It operates by understanding your data as state machines making it possible to detect anomalies effectively.

How do you know if an asynchronous api call did not happen?
By going and checking in your logs?
We are bringing an easier and smarter way to do this. Check out our latest blog to know how!

Today, we discuss a key strategy to reduce alert fatigue: Symptom based alerts!
Symptom-based alerting = monitor Cx = Customer's “goal”/ “experience”.
Here are 3 things to keep in mind while setting them up👇🏽
Also get AI-based insights related to your alerts data.
We leverage pattern recognition and NER models to extract custom information from your alert messages.
Typically, this would include labels like service_name, resource, etc.
Today, we are launching Alert Quality Score (AQS) on the
@DrDroidDev
Slack bot.
AQS helps engineers to fight alert fatigue. It is based on two simple heuristics:
* Higher frequency of alerts means more noise.
* Fewer Repeating alerts means more actionability.
Introducing AlertOps Slack Bot.!
TL;DR Add the bot to a channel and instantly receive report about poorly configured and noisy alerts in the channel over the last 1 month.

If an external API call is in the flow of a critical business journey or customer experience, it MUST be proactively monitored!
Dr Droid can help you set up monitoring for your external integrations:

Modern communications between different systems are more of acks followed by webhooks instead of just one synchronous API.

WAIT!!
Instead of all the manual analysis, just install our
#Slack
bot in your alerts channel and get insights in a jiffy.⚡️
❌ No manually going through each tool and trying to figure out noise.
✅ Instant analysis and summary.
Orders dropped by 2% in your business and you see a spike in customer complains with some messages having the word "payment".

1. They compliment software alerting, not replace them! Use them both in parallel. Don't just auto-instrument your code and leave it at that.
When you have 100s of alerts firing every day, symptom based alerting helps you find needle in the haystack!
A snippet from recent webinar -- "How to transition from an engineer to a tech lead(er)?"
Master your craft before jumping into managing people. Proving your skills as an IC is essential to build trust and empathy with junior engineers.

2. Add tags & configurations to these metrics to make it easy to triangulate and identify issues.
3. Involving engineers in product discussions makes it really easy to instrument product metrics. here's a small way in which you can add them directly to your development lifecycle
As
#startups
expand and
#engineering
teams grow, there is an excessive amount of alerts setup by us (for all the right reasons!!!).
Then we start to drown in the sea of
#slack
alerts.
There's more noise than insights in these alerts. 🫠
Clean up? Yes ofc! But...

Alert!
If you ever tried to connect two independent events and setup an alert on it, you will find our article interesting. :)
